The three were stunned by her words. Bai Youyou was the first to react. "You mean the label catchers chasing us have their own behavioral restrictions?"
Xu Xiaoyou nodded silently.
"Does that even make sense?" Akabane Tsubaki grumbled. "We're Awakened Ones; the lower our rating, the more freedom we have. Why can a label catcher lift their restrictions too?"
"It's Hera," Xu Xiaoyou said. "Hera is unlocking the permissions for the label catchers. The lower our ratings, the more destructive we are to the order of this side. Hera is naturally anxious for the label catchers to eliminate us, so she is pushing her own calculations."
"My movement-type skill cards were all used up in the last round of combat. In the next fight, my actions will be very slow. I'll rely on my 'signal barrier'." In the live stream, her figure was blurred into static snow. "It won't be a tough fight. When the time comes, no matter what injuries I take, just do what you need to do, Meijiu."
"This guy is practically scrap metal now, Yuzu. Do you want me to carry him?" Angelina's mouth twitched as she looked at the original mechanical officer on the floor.
At every station in Skyline City, as the train enters, disinfecting electromagnetic waves pass through. This clears any memories of Awakened Ones from the past ten minutes and paralyzes the previous mechanical officers while new ones enter under restrictions. This is also why, upon entering a station, the androids on the train become dull-eyed and subconsciously ignore the combat.
Xu Xiaoyou said nothing and walked over to the officer, crouching down. A card titled 【Deft Mind】 appeared in her hand.
She pressed twice on the mechanical officer. Following a dizzying sequence of movements and a flash of electric sparks, the mechanical officer was repaired. It stood up with a vacant gaze and began wandering through the carriage.
"This should work," Xu Xiaoyou said with a nod.
"Attention, esteemed passengers. The Skyline Special Express from Apophis Aquarium to the New Federation Morikawa station is about to depart. The train's stop is brief; passengers who have not yet boarded, please hurry. We wish you a pleasant journey."
The ten-minute break passed in an instant, and the gentle, pleasant voice of the female announcer rang out.
Even though she was reluctant, forced by the situation, Angelina picked up Xu Xiaoyou and turned into a streak of light.
Jason immediately locked his target on Xu Xiaoyou. The muscles in his arms surged as his attributes rose sharply. His strength infinitely approached 1,500, while his psyche value was about to crash below the warning line.
Violent power flowed through his body. The excessively low psyche value turned him into a wild beast; he didn't think, nor did he care what the girls were trying to do. Having been toyed with like a mouse by a cat previously, Jason's rage exploded. Only one thought remained in his mind: use this surging power to crush the girl left alone in the carriage to cover the retreat.
Seeing Jason in this state, Bai Youyou secretly felt a chill. Forget stopping this guy; she probably couldn't even withstand a single blow.
But frontal combat wasn't her best angle; people were merely blinded by her performance and forgot the fact that she was a magic-user.
The state of the guy before her was no different from a wild beast. Being unable to think rationally was the greatest weakness of a beast. The difference between humans and beasts was whether one could utilize everything at their disposal to reverse the innate gap.
": Looks like this support-rank brother has a lot of resentment."
": A grade 3 versus a pseudo-grade 5—there's zero possibility of a frontal confrontation. Jason is even a specialized combatant. She'll be insta-killed."
": I can't watch. The second young lady of the Order Court is about to become a speed bump."
Jason stomped his feet and roared, chasing after Xu Xiaoyou. A heavy hammer swung toward him.
It wasn't even enough to make Jason think of defending. A grade 3 mind inquisitor was so feeble. He would just crash through her, crushing the girl blocking his way along with it!
But just an instant before the heavy hammer hit him, an extremely intense sense of danger exploded in his mind like a thunderclap, washing his consciousness into a complete blank!
Jason subconsciously stopped. At this moment, a massive amount of meaningless information surged in like a swarm—lush forests, vast lands, the boundless ocean. He saw the wilderness, old sheep with deep eyes, and people singing while riding on their backs. Cooking smoke rose slowly, the red sun rose in the east and set in the west, and the sun and moon alternated in a shroud of light, while the stars shifted in the sky.
Boom! Jason's massive body flew backward like a cannonball, slamming straight into the wall.
